The Decima engine is the tech Guerrilla Games built for Horizon: Zero Dawn, a game with excellent plant life. Looks like Kojima Productions is following suit with its own gorgeous greenery. Presumably this shot is from the new trailer we'll be seeing at Sony's show in June, and while it shows no new information, it's hard to deny that it looks great. We're sure it'll make more sense when we see the new footage.

Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed a wide knowledge of video games, from AAA blockbusters to the smallest indie gems. With relentless enthusiasm, eclectic taste, and a passion for writing, he’s always on the lookout for the next big thing. He also has the Platinum for The Witness, so there’s that.

@Turismo4GT@Quintumply I think what we are seeing here is the creation of the SGU - the Sony Gaming Universe. It seems obvious that Death Stranding is actually Sony's equivalent of the Avengers. I anticipate, Aloy, Kratos, Moss, Sackboy, Nathan Drake, Ellie, that biker dude from Days Gone and at least one of the hipsters from Infamous to team up to stop Mads Mikkelsen from doing something weird with babies and whales (or something).

@Rudy_Manchego Damn you beat me too it. I've been having a PlayStation universe theory for a while now. I reckon the timeline is this: God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne, The Order 1886, Death Stranding, Uncharted, Infamous, Detroit, Days Gone, The Last of Us and finally Horizon. Kojima did say DS was all about "connections" after all. The next PS All-stars is going to be insane.

@shellcore Nah that's all the fun of it, there's plenty of time for gameplay when it nears release.

@adf86 So if I follow you correctly, you figure Death Stranding to take place in the 1900’s? 🤔 Hmmm ... Interesting. I would have put it between Detroit and Days Gone in chronology. That moss looks more like 21st century moss.

@Th3solution Well my thinking goes into the second Death Stranding trailer where the setting looked like Normandy in 1945 but of course this is Kojima's parallel dimension mind bender game so I figured this was a a better place to put if any

@Octane My thinking with Knack is more akin to the X-Men where their too big so they have to have their cinematic universe

@PS_Nation I'm trying to think who the main villain would be, Polygon Man is too obscure, Phil Spencer would have licencing issues and Nintendo fanatics would be too baity. It would have to be someone who's powerful, reasonably well known and could easily fit into multiple timelines. So it has to be Dr Nefarious, I can see the title now PlayStation AllStars: Age of Nefarious!

@adf86 We should call him Phil Spincer, a liar villain who wants to destroy the world with micro transactions and f2p model. He also wants to end our freedom and push a multiplayer future only. Only our PlayStation heroes can defeat him and his evil army of bots called X.
